Rainingroses, welcome to IHD, I'm so glad you found us.  This is not your first Rodeo, so you will be able to help others and vent about your own experiences.  This is a great place to talk about CKD with people who understand.  Even though we love out family they just don't have to do what we have to do.  AND eat and not eat.

Hope you enjoy your stay.

Welcome to IHD Rainingroses.  I live in Griffin, about an hour south of Atlanta, so we are almost neighbors.  I have had ESRD for about 5 years now, but am not on D yet.  Glad you joined us.  Just post all the time and let us know all about you.

LOVE, Mimi
